Legal fees for buying a home

NZCU Baywide members save on legal fees for buying a home

Here at NZCU Baywide, your local credit union, we understand that it’s not just buying the house that costs money, it’s all the little ‘add-ons’ that cost also. So to assist you with one of the costs, NZCU Baywide has used its buying power to negotiate an arrangement with trusted legal team, Gifford Devine.

Gifford Devine are based in Hastings, but can take care of the legal requirements of your home purchase no matter where you live in New Zealand. In addition to this, we have negotiated a special rate of only $750 including GST for your home purchase legal fees (conveyancing fees are often in excess of $1,400).* This is a huge saving that reflects your ownership in your credit union – NZCU Baywide.

How do you benefit from this great saving? Simply contact your NZCU Baywide lender when you are considering your sale and purchase agreement and they will put you in contact with one of the legal advisors at Gifford Devine.

Our Chairman, Iain Taylor, is a partner at Gifford Devine. For more information on Gifford Devine see gifforddevine.co.nz or contact one of our team today.

NZCU Baywide has negotiated this special just for our members, it’s our way of giving back. Find out what other member benefits are available to you.
